Texas Historic Site

C. Stoffers, the saddle and harnessmaker who had his shop at 111 E. North Main, had this building erected in 1886. For several decades, the building was home to a variety of retail establishments, including a grocery store, a general store, and later a variety store. Starting in 1934, the Flatonia Argus newspaper occupied the space. The Argus, which was first published in Flatonia in 1878 and had moved several times in its history before 1934, made this location its permanent home and is still operating here to this day—the longest continuously published newspaper in Fayette County.

Year of construction: 1886
